What the Critics Say

"This is an outstanding blend of romantic suspense and urban fantasy with great storytelling and world building, extremely sensuous scenes that move the story arc along, and characters [listeners] will be reluctant to leave." (Booklist)

I listen to a TON of paranormal romance audiobooks, and I have to tell you that with few exceptions, I'm left cold. Either the story is too dry and plodding, or the narrator left much to be desired.

This is not the case with this series. I was immediately drawn into the story, and fell in love with the characters. I laughed a lot, teared up a little, and immediately moved on to book 2. Sophie Eastlake did a wonderful job on the narration, and they were a few times I forgot I was listening to just one person reading. I highly recommend this series, and I hope others find it as enjoyable as I!

This is a great paranormal romance book. I have no idea what took me so long to finally listen to this one, but sometimes being late to the party is better then never arriving.

This book definitely lives up to all the rave reviews. It has a great mix of romance, adventure, mythical creatures, humor and of course plenty of hot sex. I also enjoyed the supporting cast of characters and the excellent narration.

I read a lot of paranormal fiction, and was recently thinking that I'd really like for the heroine to not be so awfully tough and gritty. The female heroine in this book was, surprisingly and refreshingly, a real girl. It's not that she wasn't brave when she needed to be. She fought when it was necessary. She was girly enough though to paint her toenails, love good shoes, and be squeamish about the whole idea of killing. Most women aren't Xena Warrior Princess types, and thank goodness, neither was Pia. I found this refreshing in a genre chock full of fearless weapon toting warrior women.

The relationship between Pia and Dragos was well written, as was the book as a whole. The narrator did an excellent job. All in all a great listen.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audio book. I found the leads, Dragos and Pia to have witty interchanges while each tries to figure out and understand the bonding that is happening between them. Both leads are not human, Dragos is a full blooded dragon and Pia is a half blood (I won???t spoil it by telling you what she is half of ??? but watch the clues, those will have you guessing correctly in no time IF you know your magical animals well enough) ??? The subtle way in which each char???s animal natures is carried out is wonderfully done and I think the author did a great job of showing how these ???people??? are not human, but magical creatures with different mind sets, different instincts that still drive them even when they logically shouldn???t (if they were human).

Another reviewer apparently was disappointed in the story because of the rough sexual interaction; I suppose that person has never seen animals mating before to understand that it???s not all roses and soft caresses. Heck, a good many of us poor humans rather enjoy a rough tumble. There is nothing wrong with rough sex between consenting adults, and these adults are very consenting. There is nothing in the book that is ???rape??? but there is some intense sexual dialog (also a mention of a torture/killing that was short but brutal) I would not recommend this to anyone that might be offended by the use of crude language.

There is no ???abuse??? in this book either, there is violence (plot driving) but no outright abuse from the lead male towards the lead female. In fact there is a clear message that Dragos is going out of his way to try and be nice, kind, thoughtful to Pia mixed in with his primal usages to have, take and keep what he believes is his.

The narrator, Sophie Eastlake did a lovely job ??? She did very well with relating the characters in a believable and well defined manner. I will certainly enjoying hearing more of her voice in other audio books.

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me entertain from beginning to end. I am a huge para freak and I have read or listen to every paranoral romance I can get my hands on. So let tell me tell you something...it made want a dragon of my own. I like my men a bit grumpy;p. Anyways its not the best written book but the narrator did a great job with the voices. The main female character was a little whinny but not to much to take away from the sorry. The author will give you a whole new look on the paranormal. It was fresh and cute...ohhh and let's not forget steamy. Oh how wish I had a dragon of my own.... any ways again. The dialoge is not shakespear but hey I understood and could relate to how the author spoke for her characters. If you are young at heart and can get down with a little slang here and there then you should look into the book. This is the first of a probably long series. So if u don't want to invest...this would probably not work out for you. Hot shapeshifting men (sigh). Some action. Sexy romance. A little main character whinny. Great character voices. Entertaining all togather.....hope you likey:)

This is a pretty good paranormal story and decent start to a series. The characters were a bit unusual (not cookie-cutter, even for this genre) and the whole dragon thing was different. The writing is decent and I felt the story flowed pretty well. This story only flirted a little bit with cliche', but was by no means burdened with it. Any traces of cliche' are mainly found in Dragos' character, with the whole Alpha-male Paranormal supreme-being type of thing. All things considered, I liked the characters pretty well. I was entertained by the story, though some of the dialogue and the ways the characters related to each other did not keep me completely connected to them throughout the entire story. Some of the dialogue and interaction seemed a bit like people on a reality-tv show to me, and that's not really my favorite. Just my opinion. The narration was good. Overall a worthwhile listen, engaging enough that I would continue on with the series.

This book was excellent! I didn’t realize how popular it was until after I read it and was read to gush to the world.

This book revolves around two main characters; the first is Pia Giovanni, who is blackmailed into stealing something from the dragon’s lair. The second is Dragos Cuelebre, who is a shape-shifting dragon that was born along with the solar system. He is very powerful and has lived long enough to have experienced everything, or so he thought until he finds that someone has broken into his magically guarded lair and stolen something from him.

Dragos is so angry over the theft, his roar almost causes an earthquake and all of his wyr guards and minions are immediately put on alert and start trying to hunt down the thief. Pia knows that the dragon has discovered her theft and quickly tries to cover her tracks and disappear out of New York where the dragon rules.

Dragos decides to try some magic to hunt down Pia, but he doesn’t know that she has a bit of magic herself. Instead of luring her to him, he is lured to her! Dragos has no idea about love and romance; it is the one thing he has never experienced. He orders people around and demands everything he wants. But you can’t demand love and you cannot order romance from a menu. Let the sizzling romance begin!

You will get blisters on your fingers from turning pages quickly enough to keep up with this story. If you are listening on audiobook while you drive, you might just find you have to take a long road trip just so you can keep listening to this compelling story. I highly recommend this book to all paranormal romance or fantasy fans!

The Narration Review:

This audiobook was narrated by Sophie Eastlake and she did a great job. Her voice was easy to listen to and her characters were well defined. Sophie’s pacing and diction are excellent. A joy to listen to!

I was thouroughly impressed with this audio book. The writing is great and the author has the characters reacting to situations in believable ways. The story is interesting, if a bit predictable. However, I found I couldn't stop listening. The narrator is just perfect. I highly recommend giving it a listen.

This is an audiobook that I have to over and over again. I love the story I love the author imagination. When it comes down to the series what I like is that you don't have to read all the books in order you can actually skip around and switch him up. I truly enjoy the stories with Pia and Dragos. But some of the stories of the other characters are just as good.
